Ganagandharvan - Review Ganagandharvan is a Malayalam movie, released only 2 days ago, on Se. 27, 2019, direction and script by Ramesh Pisharody, produced by Ichais Productions, music by Deepak Dev, starring Mammootty, Manoj K Jayan, Innocent, Mukesh, Vanditha Manoharan, Asokan, etc. The movie overall was excellent ! Star rating 10/10. The story is of a singer, Kalasadan Ullas, who sings with a local music band for a meagre income and has high ambitions to become a great singer. He lives with his loving wife Mini and a teenage daughter. Then he gets an offer to go to America for a performance, making his hopes sky high now. There are so many very interesting and continuous twists and turns through out in the story, even in the last minute ! There is also a lot of implicit humor which will make any one roll with laughter, especially with policewoman Leelaramani. There are many many characters also in this movie. Mammootty as the singer did perform pretty good. His age, 68, however, was casting a shadow through out. Mammootty is a great actor, I would even say the greatest actor ever in the Malayalam movie industry ! The character Sandra was phenomenal, so overconfident, defiant and a go getter, she really gave a fantastic performance. Actually, this is the character I loved most ! Every other actor also gave an excellent performance. All the character selections were just perfect, quite unlike most other Malayalam movies. I think there were only two songs, just OK. The script/screen play was excellent ! The photography also was very good. The direction was excellent ! I have given a full rating in comparison to other Malayalam movies. J Panicker.
